Amends the High Risk Home Loan Act to provide that for any loan that is subject to the provisions of the Act and is not subject to the provisions of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, no lender shall make a high risk home loan that includes a penalty provision (rather than permitting prepayment penalties under specified conditions).
